Supposedly, for his role in the Mike Leach autobiography.

SPORTSbyBROOKS Bruce Feldman Suspended Indefinitely By ESPN

Since the book was released on Monday, Feldman has deliberately avoided any personal promotion or mention of the Leach book. (You will find no mention of the book on Feldman’s Twitter account and ESPN blog.)
Despite those facts, Feldman was told by Doria, Hoenig and Stiegman today that he was being suspended indefinitely for his participation in the Leach book.

Feldman is literally the best sports writer on ESPN. (F Rick Reilly).

I think Feldman would fit in pretty good at SI.com. I know they already have two decent writers for college football. But they could use a man with more inside sources there. He could really play off Peter King but Mandel is already filling that role.

ESPN should be ashamed of themselves. They should have ditched Craig James quietly after the TTU debacle.

Several different places are reportedly lined up with offers in the event that ESPN lets him go. He will be fine no matter what.

The craziest part is that he sought and received permission from ESPN to contribute to the book ahead of time.

There's been a beef between Mike Leach and Craig James (who works for ESPN) over his son. Feldman helped Mike Leach write his book with the permission of ESPN. The week the book comes out, ESPN suspends Feldman.

To answer your question, it's completely illogical, and that's why there's a big stink.

ESPN just announced the Feldman was "never suspended" and has "now resumed working" 3HL in Nashville had this. Power of twitter.

Bill Simmons is easily the best sportswiter ESPN has, I agree as well, to the point he had to get his own site and permanent position to link said site on the front page. If that's not importance/popularity I don't know what is.

This entire handling of this by ESPN has been comical. Chris LaPlaca is Senior VP of Corp. Communications at ESPN, and has taken to twitter to claim BF was never suspended and that the evil side of twitter has now been seen. His "sports analogy" ....."coaches call time outs and play stops for a couple of minutes, but the game is not suspended." Now that's funny. Right up there with the Clinton/Lewinsky line....."I never had sex with that woman." He wasn't suspended because it was just a time out. Good stuff. And, let's get on twitter and talk about how bad twitter can be. Classic.

If Feldman was never suspended then why hasn't he refuted anything via his own Twitter account?

That's all the proof I need.
